Read all instructions - Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/
or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all the warnings listed below refers to your battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
• This device contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. A new or used battery can cause severe
internal burns and lead to death if swallowed or enters the body. Keep it away from children. If
you think batteries may have been swallowed or entered the body, seek immediate medical attention.
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
distraction while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
• Use personal protection equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Tool Use and Care
• To prevent leakage, overheating, smoke generation, re, and rupturing from occurring, follow these
instructions when handling our rechargeable power tools (tool main body/battery pack/charger).
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these
instructions to operate the tool. These tools can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may aect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.
• Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.

SAFETY
Battery and Charger Use and Care
• Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery
pack, and product using battery pack.
• To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Huskie Tools Battery Pack model BP-185. Other
types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
• Do not leave charger and battery pack exposed to rain or snow, submerge in water, or stored in damp or
wet locations.
• To reduce risk of damaging the electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger.
• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
• Do not disassemble charger or battery pack, contact Huskie Tools service dept. at 800-860-6170 when
service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or re.
• Do not store the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50°C
(122°F) (such as a metal tool shed, or a car in the summer), which can lead to deterioration of the storage
battery.
• Do not charge battery pack when the temperature is BELOW 0°C (32°F) or ABOVE 40°C (104°F). This is very
important to maintain optimal condition of the battery pack.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V AC electrical power only. Do not
attempt to use it on any other voltage.
• Charge the battery pack in a well ventilated place, do not cover the charger and battery pack with a cloth,
etc., while charging.
• Use of an attachment not recommended may result in a risk of re, electric shock, or personal injury.
• Do not short the battery pack or allow metal objects to touch the terminals. A battery short
can cause a large current ow, over heating and create the risk of re or personal injury.
• Huskie Tools is not responsible for any damage or accident caused by the use of recycled or counterfeit
battery pack.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack or dispose of the battery pack in a re, or expose it to excessive heat.
• Do not charge the battery pack in a high-temperature location, such as next to a re or in direct sunlight.
Otherwise, the battery may overheat, catch re, or explode.
• After removing the battery pack from the tool or the charger, always re-attach the pack cover. Otherwise,
the battery contacts could be shorted, leading to a risk of re.
• When the Battery Pack Has Deteriorated, Replace It with a New One. Continued use of a damaged battery
pack may result in heat generation, ignition or battery rupture.
• When storing, remove any material cuttings and dust from the battery pack, and place the battery pack
separately from metal objects (screws, nails, etc.) when storing in the tool case.

OPERATION
Compression
1. Select an appropriate size of die for the connector.
2. Insert the dies into the jaw by pressing the push pins. When released, they will hold the die in place. (Figure 1)
3. Place the connector between the dies and press the trigger to advance the ram so that the connector is held
between the dies and insert conductor into the terminal.
4. Press and hold the trigger until the compression is completed. (Figure 2) The ram will advance and once
the cycle is complete, the tool will automatically shut o and retract. A green LED will appear on the display
followed by an audible beep to alert the user the compression was completed. If the cycle was not completed,
the LED will ash red and a series of audible beeps will sound alerting the user the cycle was not completed.

LED SCREEN
ADVANCED TOOL AND BATTERY PERFORMANCE MONITORING
The SERIES 7 tools feature newly developed PCB integrated into the tools hydraulic circuit for monitoring
battery capacity, recording cycle count and output pressure, as well as the time, date, and location stamp.
There is a visual display integrated into the tool housing on all “REC” and “SL” models. This display is a
visual for complete or incomplete tool cycle, battery status indicator, conrming GPS recorded location,
Bluetooth connection indicator, and service alert visual LED when needed.
AUDIBLE ALERTS
The audible alerts on the tools can be turned “ON” or “OFF”. From the factory, the compression tools are set
to be “ON” and all cutting tools are set to“OFF”. This can be changed on any tool by pressing and holding
the “SOUND” button for 5 seconds until the battery indicator LED illuminates. The rst LED indicates audible
alerts “ON”, and by pressing the“SOUND” button again, will illuminate the second LED which will indicate
the audible alerts “OFF”The third LED indicates “ON” for “Good” and “OFF” for “Error” – this can be toggled
back and forth by pressing the check button until the desired audible alert status is reached.
Flashing green LED for BLUETOOTH connection

BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
The tools use a Bluetooth signal to connect to a laptop, desktop, or smart device via an APP which is
estimated to be available by the end of rst quarter 2018. This connection will serve as a means by which
the software can “read” and “write”data stored in the tool circuitry.
The stored data can be read and exported to .pdf document or a Microsoft Excel document via the
proprietary software “Huskie SERIES 7 Data Management System”, which is available for free download at
Microsoft Store.
Some data elds are locked such as tool model and serial number, as well as certain parameter settings
that function as control points for output pressure, cycle counts, and service interval cycles. These elds are
password protected but can be changed by service technicians that need to reprogram new boards in the
case of damage. Other data elds are writable for record keeping such as eld notes for service, assignment
to a truck number or crew, jobsite, etc.
The data will give a user the ability to see the last recorded 500 cycles the tool made with time, date, and
location stamp, viewable on Google Maps as well as pressure output and a tool diagnosed“complete”or
“incomplete”cycle. They can also view the output pressure settings, and adjust if necessary. Like all the
stored data, it too can be exported to .pdf document or Microsoft Excel document.
The GPS chip located inside the tool is not connected to a service provider for the use of tracking a
misplaced or stolen tool in such an event. If the tool is in a location where it cannot receive a satellite signal
to record the location, that recorded line is simply blank where a MAP icon would normally be. All other
parameters are recorded.
